WW2 nose art *caution for younger viewers*

"Last Horizon" , B-24

Here is a piss poor scan of what looks like an intricate portrait of the San Francisco bay and the Golden Gate bridge...this was a negative, and this is about all I could do with...the "Last Horizon" moniker was probably all too true for a lot of soldiers, though...

Nose art cowls were cut and hung from the air museum in Harlingen, TX for years. When the museum moved to Midland, TX I don't know if the nose art went along. They had dozens of original cowls hanging on the walls of the original museum. Anyone been to Midland to see if they're there?
Thanks for posting, I love it.

Rob,
The "Last Horizon" obviously referred to their statement to the enemy, who would not see another horizon after their arrival. Those crews were full of bravado and committment. In my book, they were ALL heros, living or dead, including your grandfather. We here, and many around the world, are free today because of them.
God Bless them all.
